@mfeilner trash in, trash out!
First lesson in a AI (LLM) I followed: data gathering and cleansing. 90% of the work to built usable trustworthy AI component.

And as a former archivist/information manager I know how much R.O.T. data there is floating around 😬 That should be a worry in the boardrooms, but c-level is never interested in solid archival/data-management 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Frieke72 Thanks again for the inspiration, I made it one of my #feilnerisms

"OSI Layer 11 is where C-Level Management does not care about understanding anything of the Layers below. See #AI, #Opensource, #dataprotection #datamanagement #Long_Term_Archiving and more."

@mfeilner 👌🏼🤓

@mfeilner years and years of experience trying to reach them 😬
